Applying Expression Profile Similarity for Discovery of Patient-Specific Functional Mutations

High-throughput
Guofeng Meng

Abstract

The progress of cancer genome sequencing projects yields unprecedented information of mutations for numerous patients. However, the complexity of mutation profiles of cancer patients hinders the further understanding to mechanisms of oncogenesis. One basic question is how to find mutations with functional impacts. In this work, we introduce a computational method to predict functional somatic mutations of each patient by integrating mutation recurrence with expression profile similarity. With this method, the functional mutations are determined by checking the mutation enrichment among a group of patients with similar expression profiles. We applied this method to three cancer types and identified the functional mutations. Comparison of the predictions for three cancer types suggested that most of the functional mutations were cancer-type-specific with one exception to p53. By checking predicted results, we found that our method effectively filtered non-functional mutations resulting from large protein sizes. In addition, this method can also perform functional annotation to each patient to describe their association with signalling pathways or biological processes. In breast cancer, we predicted "cell adhesion" and other terms...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
